For the fifth year in a row, Iowa FNAWS has been granted one of the highly coveted Non-Resident Whitetail Deer Tags from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Iowa FNAWS is again proud to partner with the Wild Sheep Foundation (formerly the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep), to auction this tag via WSF’s website, www.wildsheepfoundation.org all interested bidders can bid via the website by clicking on the Live Online Auction button. Auction will close May 20th, 2014.
It is extremely difficult for a non-resident to obtain a whitetail deer tag in Iowa, however Iowa is home to some of the biggest whitetails in the country and many believe that the next world record could potentially come out of Iowa’s rich cornfields. This tag allows the non-resident to have a chance at one of Iowa’s coveted trophy deer.
This statewide tag is good for two (2) deer (1 any-sex and 1 antlerless) in any unit in Iowa. The winning bidder may choose from one of the following seasons…archery, shotgun or late muzzleloader, and can pick his/her weapon of choice which is legal to hunt deer in Iowa. The only additional cost to the winning bidder would be the cost of the deer tags and small game/habitat fee of $551 which would be paid directly to Iowa DNR.
This tag is available for the 2014 or 2015 season and the winning bidder must contact Aron Arthur (aron.arthur@dnr.iowa.gov) at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources by September 1st 2014 to specify which season he/she will be hunting.
